I am using #AWK for only one command.
ia tasks | awk -F "identifier" "{s+=(NF-1)} END {print s}"
It counts my Internet Archive tasks that are currently running.
Now that I have a new computer, I didn't want to install AWK for just one command. I asked Claude to write me the same command for PowerShell.
(ia tasks | ForEach-Object { ($_ -split "identifier").Count - 1 } | Measure-Object -Sum).Sum
Sad to say goodby to AWK. It was very useful to me three jobs ago.
I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.
I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.
I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.
